However, I will present one single argument that outweighs all others – everything depends on the starting save. A different save allows you to complete the map several times faster (for example, having the Dimension Door spell in the pyramid near the starting castle will give an insurmountable advantage on a "water-mountainous" map with complex logistics), and therefore only the saves of the participants in this tournament can be compared. And the presence of an optimal solution among them is very doubtful.
1) We have a fixed save, as well as all objects and possibilities on this map, therefore, it is possible to determine the minimum!!! At least, this component can be divided into two... "Theoretical minimum," which can be determined after the results, and the practical minimum, which will be equal to the leader's result!!! More often, they coincide!!!
Ah, if you provided clear examples to explain your words, it would be easier to understand what you are talking about...
